I don't really want to consider the possibility ATM. While we've had some wins this year, and seem some potential future stars, I have to say this year has also served up some of our most noteworthy and terrible disappointments!

Really?  Where have you been for 8 years?

I would have said most who knew the list would see it going almost exactly to script.

Walk back home through East Melbourne, with my lovely lady, trying to prevent her dumping her scarf in the bin (again), reach home, think [censored] it's only footy and look forward to the next game

 

wow I broke the censor and then it fixed itself

Does your apparent gift of foretelling come from spilling the entrails of small creatures or during those precious moments when you're changing hands?

No.

It comes from being an objective football lover of many decades and not an emotional wrist slashing moron.

Thanks for asking.

Is that on a personal level, or are you talking about the footy

You are seriously saying that this season has gone "almost exactly to script" as foreseen by you and based on your profound knowledge as "an objective football lover" ????

FMD!!!!

I must be a football genius like the other 80% of Demonland.

I think most hoped we would be 8-12 wins, push some top teams and no thrashings with young players showing signs.  I think most expected us to finish in the grouping outside the 8. 

These losses will stick in the craw of young players like Viney, Hunt, Petracca and Brayshaw.  Yeah we should have won, and I hate losing, but it won't hurt us in the long term.

When Viney is our captain and names like Hunt, Petracca and Brayshaw and in our LG we will get these games going our way.

This is a nice list and there is a culture developing lead by Viney, despite a large hole down back it's not hard to see the possibility of gradual but meaningful and sustainable improvement.

... applaud Roos' late tanking strategy

We're giving Gold Coast the win and the lower draft pick by tanking (They have our first pick) ?

 

This is literally the lowest incentive game to ever tank. We're tanking for what? Pick 25 instead of Pick 27?

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
